My place is good for couples, solo adventurers, and business travelers. House hunters. remote yet central for the region, I am a vegetarian,I like to cook, you are welcome to share meals with me, I just ask for a contribution in consideration for the food and cooking, please let me know when you book if you want to eat here. Just to say it is not Axat which is 20 klms away, it is a little village, in a river valley, Belfort sur Rebenty

It's a small house, set in a large garden by a fast flowing small river, can be cold in this region in the winter but I don't loose the sun. Wonderful in late spring and summer, with an abundance of wild plants and flowers, the wild garlic forms a "carpet" in the woodland. Autumn always takes my breath away and just when you think it's over there seems to be another explosion of colour.

I am on the edge of a small, pretty village, at the moment only 27 permanent residents, I am the only English person. 100 meters from me is a wood yard, run by a really friendly guy, Russell. In the day time when he is working you can hear the sound of the saw inside the cutting warehouse, it's not loud and personally does not impinge on my own feeling of peace in this place. In the hunting season I do hear the odd gun shot.

Interesting place alongside a river, comfortable with the host easy going and relaxed. You are made to feel very welcome.

Belinda2017-05-25T00:00:00Z

Basic home, but the warmth of your hostess becomes a very interesting experience.

Stefan2017-07-30T00:00:00Z

We had a wonderful stay at Patricia's beautiful and inviting home. The location is a real treat, the natural beauty of the Pyrenees is stunning and so peaceful. Patty is a warm and interesting host who treated us to a delicious home cooked meal and delightful company. The place is clean and artistic with a comfortable bed and facilities. We slept well, ate a lovely breakfast with fresh eggs form the hens and home baked bread, engaged in more interesting conversation before leaving. We were reluctant to go and would love to visit again. Highly recommended.

We greeted with local products from the area, and have firewood available to warm up with the beautiful wood stove. In the vicinity are many interesting walking routes to do and castles to visit, also it is not very crowded. Fully recommended !!

If you want a small simple house to be quiet a few days, enjoy the quiet of the endearing Joucou, enjoy the butcher-passing truck on Thursday at 12pm, hear Rébenty run a few meters and browse through the grooves upstream, read in the sun in the garden in front of the house, making beautiful walks to nearby surroundings or even push to the slopes of the NRP the Catalan Pyrenees or the lakes of the reserve Orlu: here! Very good communication with the host (including practical aspects of a late arrival for reloading the stove, etc.), at that.

La Font Blanche is a quiet place surrounded by forest and fields where you can relax, walk around in nature and listen to the silence. It is situated in the "land of the cathars" in the Pyrenees where you can visit the old castles and the famous "cité de Carcassonne.

This is a wonderful place to stay - even better than it appears in the pictures. Amazingly quiet, wonderful night skies, friendly visiting dogs, lots of space - inside and out - equipped with everything you may need. Also a quick drive to the lovely swimming lake in Belcaire. There is a tangible sense of peace here and I would really strongly recommend staying if you are looking for a place to escape the hurly-burly and breathe!

Small terrace on the street side.
Garden closed without opposite to the back of the house with stunning mountain views.

Our stay with Mari was exceptional, from the moment we arrived nothing was too much trouble. Mari also made a delicious homemade cake for us, left us grape juice and lovely local honey. At first the language barrier was difficult but we communicated through email, Mari let us know about a lovely local market where we were able to get cheeses, hams and veg. she also emailed us to let us know good places to go in the area. she was always available but never intrusive. Lescale is stunning, peaceful and relaxing. we had a wonderful time and cant reccomend Mari and her cottage enough, thanks for a wonderful stay!

Luminous, old house with an artistic (spiritualish .. ) ambience in a quit village.
A big south facing terras with a beautiful view.
Basic comfort, no jacuzzis here. No Ikea furniture either. I'm someone that has a passion for re-using and recycling it is my way of diminishing my foot print on this beautiful Planet.
I imagine people that like basics and adventure, not so much luxury and entertainment. People that know the advantages of meditation, organic food and being nurtured by nature.

Its a very peace full and luminous house. It has a beautiful and tranquil vibe.

Close to the village of Nébias is a most magical forest. No photo can show what is looks like, it is something you have to feel in the real. People experience wandering through a fairytale scenery.
People come to here meditate because of the special energy.

Le Domaine des Massols is a haven of peace in the heart of 27 hectares of forest. You'll find the absolute quiet. You can also party in peace until a reasonable hour!
We live and work on site, thank you to respect the quiet outside after 23 hours.

Superb area and reception decorated with taste and finesse, very quiet, peaceful. Kindness and availability on the part of the hosts. We booked the cottage for a group of 13 people, with homemade paella by the owners on Saturday, delicious! While the cottage is done manually wood, which artists! Discussions and exchanges very interesting and pleasant with our guests. Omnipresent nature and e height overlooking the valley. pingpong tables is available, griddle, Barbeuk, it s is exploding!

Enjoy the mountain views from the large terrasse or fruit tree orchard.
This home is very near to the famous labyrinth formed by a karstic maze hidden in a preserved oak forest and the huge pine tree forest.
Go and visit : Quillan, Rennes-le-Chateau, the lake 'n castle of Puivert, the stunning castle of Montsegur, an impressive sight nestled high on a rocky hilltop behind the village

The house has 100 sqm, private parking for 3 cars, is surrounded by a big garden and in the lower part of the garden, there is a fruit tree orchard overlooking the valley with great views to the mountain Bugarach.
Its quiet here and neighbors are easy going (noise is not a problem) and there is total privacy on the huge terrasse and the garden.
You will have the house to yourselves, as I only rent it out when we are gone on an adventure ourselves.
You can play outside table tennis, use the sauna (for an additional small charge) and the stone BBQ outside. There are 4 bikes.

This is a small village with friendly and helpful people. There are many marked hiking tracks starting from here and the views are stunning over the hills and the plaines all around Nebias.
Walk the stunning labyrinth (2 hrs), or to the chateau de Puivert (2 hrs or a 10 min drive), or do the loop to large pine tree forest (Sapin geant, 4 hrs), walk down to the Esperaza market (2 hrs, 20 min drive).
Then come home and enjoy a cup of tea or a cold drink under the cherry trees in the orchard overlooking the mount Bugarach.

It was the perfect place to come down to earth and leave the hectic from the city behind. Beautiful View! for my Kids 10 & 8 was an adventure not only the house with the trampolín and table tenis but also the places full with nature that can be visited. Kat is an excellent hostess with many ideas about how to invest the time in Nebias and its surroundings. We are definitely coming back Lina

Lina2017-08-10T00:00:00Z

Kat's place is perfectly charming and ideal for an experience of "country living" in the South of France. It really does have a superb views of the hills from the living room area and the terrace outside, along with some wonderful big trees that are excellent for shade and a big trampoline for kids. Inside has a cute "hippie-chic" style with a touch of the seventies. Each bedroom has doors that open onto the terrace for their own country view. One of the bedrooms has a superb memory-foam mattress that is super comfy. The kitchen is small but functional, and stocked with the essentials. There is even a sauna. The location is superb; the village of Nebias is tranquil and adorable and very close to the wonderful little town of Puivert with its magnificent Cathar chateau, family-friendly lake and picnic area and weekly evening food market in the summer. There is plenty of great walking and hiking nearby, including to a natural "labyrinth" and for the truly adventurous there is skydiving and paragliding in the valley. Truly superb for a family vacation!

The house "Au hameau Cathare" situated in a great remote location and it is warm and cozy. We spend a night in one bedroom on the second floor while our host Jerome stayed in the other one. He also showed us around and gave a taste of local life in this remote mountain area. He also was very fast with AirBnB communication/messaging. We have enjoyed our stay at "Au hameau Cathare".

Oleksiy2016-01-22T00:00:00Z

We were two to house in the hamlet. The host is very nice, very accommodating. We arrive late and delayed because of the snow, he was able to be patient and we waited with a smile. He even offer to pick us up because of the snow. Extremely nice. The breakfast was 5 euros extra that we do not have. He offered to send by email. Which is very kind of him. It is also a very interesting and open-minded person. I would have liked to talk longer with us but could not. He showed us lots of natural things and life. For accommodation, I would say that the photos are taken ill, they say a small house average. While this is a large house, the bed is super big, there is much room, it's clean. The only negatives I found was that it was cold and in the description, there is written around the house, when it was still a private room. We have access to housing but the person resides within. Having often used Air BnB during the entire housing the person let us in and do not reside in the same time. I think the description of the entire housing must be changed private room. So negative points: cold, problem description and picture (to highlight and change). However positive the point, great great accommodation, top beds, host very friendly and welcoming. I also add that he does not smoke and it's still great fun when you're not smoking smell in a house that clean. I recommend and I am even ready to go back just to spend an evening talking.

We felt very confortable and we loved the house. We could even take some products from the fridge or wine or whatsoever, as long as we replaced them. We really spent a nice time and I recomend it very much. The lansdcape is also beautiful and the village is very nice.

Imma2014-08-22T00:00:00Z

We had a great stay at the Chalet, very welcomed with a note and a bottle of rosé. A neighbor went through the next few days to see if everything was going well. The chalet is very well equipped, we did not lack anything and the surroundings are splendid. The activities are multiple and had been very well informed by Michael who had sent us a description of the cottage and surroundings weeks in advance! It is really a place to recommend to those who like calm, beautiful landscapes, varied and verdant, sports and cultural activities nearby and all under the sun, decorated with a wind (sometimes strong enough) that makes it Bearable! Thanks Michael!

We were very pleased with Margaret our host. She responded promptly to our emails. The chalet is nice, comfortable and quaint. The location is in a quiet area. We found some hiking trails near by. We had a good holiday! Thank you Margaret for letting us stay in your chalet. Guylaine & Edward

Michael was extraordinarily helpful from the stage of booking and right through our stay. He sent a comprehensive guide in advance which included a list of wonderful things to do in this beautiful area.

Le Chalet is comfortable and cosy. Absolute plus to the house is the great view- and the amazing (mountain) surroundings. Love your morning coffee in the sun on the balcony and go explore the area. There are lots of things to do, especially for hikers and bikers. The house was bigger than I'd expected, it has a big kitchen, two bathrooms, three toilets. The kids loved staying in 'their' attic with their own balcony. Michaels respondence was swift and helpful. The brochure of the house is full of useful information and has a very friendly and welcoming tone of voice. Can't say the house was sparkless, but that would be the only (small) remark te make. Internet didn't work when we arrived- a truck had driven out all cables, so the whole area was cut off- the local contact persons were very helpful with information with what had happened (it was fixed in a day or two). To be short- I'd recommend you staying at Le Chalet.

Charlot2015-08-04T00:00:00Z

We spent a fantastic few days in nice and quiet house Michael. The house is very comfortable, comfortable and fully equipped to spend a few days with our daughters aged two years and two months in a space of quietness, peace and absence of noise. Ideal to enjoy nature, discover Puivert, excursions in the same Escale, escape Carcassonne ... A pleasure to have stayed at le Chalet and have reported no problems with Michael. We hope to repeat!

GERARD2015-04-08T00:00:00Z

Our stay in the Aude started very well with no problem finding the cottage of Margaret and conforms to the photos and the description on the site. We were close to many cultural, sporting and gastronomic which allowed us to explore the area and gave us want to come back based on Puivert at Margaret. Thank you to her for good this time!

Sandrine2014-08-17T00:00:00Z

Imagine that a good friend invites you to stay in their family cabin--that is exactly the cozy, homey feeling you get in the Chalet. The chalet is tidy and organized with helpful information posted about (how to run appliances, turn on water heater, etc.) The space is well laid-out; even with 2 adults and 5 children, we had plenty of room to spread out. The younger kids especially enjoyed having the upstairs loft for their private "flat". Michael sent us an information packet ahead of our arrival, and there was plenty of tourist information at the chalet itself. We easily filled 5 days, and would love to return and fill another 5! Great area, friendly neighbors, gorgeous scenery. Thank you for a memorable visit.

Perfect little house in the middle of the mountain. Excellent price for the rental and beautiful hostess very friendly, quite in the original spirit of Airbnb. A kiss Owl! Dankjewel !!

Marie-Brit2017-04-27T00:00:00Z

The house Doathéa was exactly what I needed for stays of 3 days calm. Simple, bright and comfortable with a certain artistic charm. As the village is very quiet I could sleep well, and in the day I made beautiful ballads. A big plus is the grocery store in town that sells some good local products, cheese bread, yoghurt etc. I would like to return one day with friends to discover other hiking trails. Doathéa welcomed me very nicely and we had the pleasure of speaking in English!

Looking for a holiday cottage that has it all? Set in stunning scenery, a quiet country retreat but within walking distance of restaurants and bars? Then stop you might just have found it here. A traditionally built stone cottage, recently renovated and modernised, with a garden and roof terrace.

Recently completely refurbished and modernised traditional stone cottage set in the small Hamlet of Campbonnaure. The cottage offers all mod cons including a well equipped kitchen, 4 good sized bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The cottage has a small walled garden and a large roof terrace with stunning views over the surrounding countryside.
Just an easy stroll across pretty and flat countryside brings you to the village of Puivert. Approx 25 minutes away by foot. Here you will find a variety of attractions.

Puivert itself, is a charming village, set in a panoramic setting, with its own lake complete with its own small beach ideal for taking a swim on a hot summers day. The lakeside is home to the local Buvette (bar and informal dining), and in the summer, the weekly night market is held where you can buy all manner of food, wines and beers, and eat at the long communal tables whilst listening to live music - twice in the summer there are unforgettable fireworks displays, set to music, extraordinary for a village of Puivert's size. This is a great base to explore the beauty, history, myths and legends of Cathar country (made famous by the books of Kate Mosse and Dan Brown) exploring the local vineyards, Cathar castles or taking a pleasant stroll through gentle rolling countryside. Above Puivert is the Plateau Du Sault, just 15 mins away, but feeling like you have been transported to the France of long ago, with its majestic Pyreneean views, huge forests and meadows, ideal for spotting local flora and fauna either on foot, bicycle or by car. For the more adventurous, try white water rafting, canyoning, rock climbing, mountain biking and hill walking. Or take a glider flight from Puivert and soar over mountains, lakes and villages. Then all come together for a trip to the Mediterranean to enjoy all the delights at places such as Collioure (intimate, loved by artists and truly beautiful), the extensive sandy beaches and water sports activities. Carcassonne Cite (UNESCO world heritage site) is just 1 hour away, and is one of the "must do" days out, with its incredible fortifications on a scale rarely seen, and is a wonderful venue for eating out - it also hosts an annual summer music festival with a wide variety of music tastes catered for.

The accommodation has everything it needs. From the roof terrace you have a nice view of the surrounding area. From the front door, it can be released. The courtyard does not seem very inviting, but it has never been used, only the roof terrace. All in all a very pleasant place to stay.

The location is absolutely wonderful. There is a fantastic walk to Puivert, along paths that cross fields with sunflowers, maize, and various other crops, bordered by beautiful wild flowers. The epicerie in Puivert sells good bread (and croissants if you get there early enough), and there's a micro brewery serving delicious, refreshing beer. The lake has a very relaxed cafe. (There are other places to eat in Puivert, also, but we did not have time to visit them.) The Château de Puivert looks down on the village, and surrounding landscape. It is an interesting place to visit and has a breathtaking view from the top of the keep. The house is great - large and comfortable, clean and well equipped. The scene viewed from the roof terrace is very peaceful, with pastures, hills, and woods, and it makes one feel so calm. Debbie and Richard were easy to communicate with. I would not hesitate to recommend their place.

This place was amazing! All the rooms were awesome and spacious. The kitchen had a nice layout, there were 2 areas inside to relax, as well as a terrace and patio outside. The landscape outside was so beautiful. I would highly recommend this place to anyone who would be staying in the area. The hosts were also very friendly and helpful, but only came around when we needed something. This place is great!

The property is lovely, situated in a beautiful, quiet, rural location with wildlife abounding - including Griffon vultures which we watched soaring above with the gliders from the local airfield. A meal, or two, at the restaurant by Puivert lake is a must.

I recommend this cottage. The hosts are very available, it is a very pretty area to visit. We feasted.

We had a wonderful stay at the foot of the mountain. The cottage is perfectly situated to visit the remarkable places. The hikes are beautiful and accessible. Ernestine thank you for the warm welcome. We recommend this address.

Host very nice and accommodating.

We can really recommend Ernestine's home. What you see at the Air b&b website is what you will find, no more, no less. It has all that you need to enjoy your trip. First thing that we discovered there was the silence, something that we did really enjoy, as it lies at a very quite place. It is true that you need a car to move around the region, but there one finds many different options to enjoy your holidays. From the cultural side, there are many small historical cities and old fortresses, for the nature lovers, thousands of paths to discover wondelful sights, not to speak about those fond of water sports , my family and me enjoyed cañonning and hydrospeed, for instance, and had a great time. If we decide to visit the region again, we will not hesitate to book Ernestine's home again. Thanks again Ernestine, greetings from Sevilla.

A jewel ! ! Chantal and Michel are real pearls. Everything was perfect! From the reception to the departure through an excellent breakfast and an absolutely charming room, do not hesitate.

The journey up to the village is quite steep and in a hire car we were unfamiliar with, a little unnerving, but once there, the hospitality that our hosts showed us put the journey into insignificance. Chantal and Michel were so welcoming and could not do enough to make our stay more comfortable. The bedroom and sole-use bathroom were large, well decorated, clean and comfortable. Everything you could want was provided. The breakfast was typically French, plentiful and very enjoyable. The village is situated in the most picturesque setting with amazing views. A nearby restaurant provided some of the best home cooking we have eaten for a long time. We can thoroughly recommend this Host and the accommodation, excellent value for money!

A very good experience. We meet very hospitable hosts and very good conditions. The bedroom and bathroom are new, modern and clean. For this price is hard to beat. The recommendation for dinner was a very good surprise. It's a pity we left one night.

Cristian2016-08-03T00:00:00Z

What a great location. A great welcome and a very, very well planned out space for guests. You will not be disappointed with the room and especially the shower room. In my opinion...a shower room of deluxe quality. The ride to and from this little village was STUNNING and I will be back for sure. Chantal and Michel are so very friendly and welcoming. Down to earth and enjoying their magical spot in these adorable mountains. Thank you both.

Great stay. We came for a wedding at 30 km. Do not hesitate to make a few extra kilometers, the impeccable accommodation, comfortable, and corresponds exactly to the description. Welcoming hosts and super nice. There's nothing wrong, at home. A wonderful landscape, nature lovers hasten! Sure, at the first opportunity, we will return. Thank you !

Our property is in a beautiful location with amazing views over the fields and mountain. Set on the edge of the village of Puivert 2 mins from a swimming lake. The village has a shop, depot de pain, 3 restaurants open in the summer months.

The accommodation is completely separate although we live at the rear of the property. We have 3 bedrooms 2 with twin beds and the 3rd a kingsize bed all with lovely views.

If you are looking for a vibrant nightlife then Puivert would not be for you but if you want a relaxing holiday great place for children the lake is safe and a lifeguard is on duty in July and August. Lots of places to visit historic Miropoix is only 25 mins away. The coast is 1 hour the mountains on your doorstop.

Lovely house in a beautiful spot, where you can feel the slow pace of life! Ideal for family breaks. Great Host. Very much looking forward to come back!!!
